Awareness

Our modern world is a challenging one.

I'm done trying to lose myself.

Facebook, phones, TV, drugs.

Tools used to stay unaware.

Our insight lost to the psychopathic thugs

who wash us into a bliss-less stare.

With our greed we confide

to pay rich-men to scare

away a failing grip on a pride for our true selves

instead of our "self" made image.

A person who delves

into a sense of individuality on this stage

of life, acting out a desired reality,

has no perceived chance

to be accepted without the ability

to take a satirical stance

on an abandoning society.

The world will never be more forgiving

than on the day you decide

to forgive it.

What do you think while reading this?

It brings to mind a time when the electricity went down in a storm, and we were left to light candles and play board games till it came back on, and how sad once it did that the monopoly game was abandoned and I was left sitting with a lot of money and nothing to spend it on, wishing it all went black again, yet relieved we could cook our meal. We are so dependent it scares me.

I think - perhaps we are the world.
